I was out in the field today with the wife fixing fence when we were approached by a heifer. She squared up on us and bounced on her front feet, tail out behind her while shaking her head. She then proceeded to follow us for a while trotting and then doing the squaring up/bouncing thing. My wife screamed and fled into the neighbor's field. This heifer has done this to me before, but then quit it the next time I was around her. When we loaded them up to go to the vet's she tried 'pushing' the calf in to the trailer and ended up pounded the heck out of her about two feet from me and almost caught me up in the frenzy.
Either way I'm going to ship her, but I'd like to know what I'm dealing with. The weird thing is that her dam and half sibling don't exhibit the aggression. The mother will shake her head but will not come at you.
Thanks guys. Needless to say, I had a pretty big adrenaline dump and the wife is pretty amped up about it still.
